Hi all, I've just noticed that release candidate 765 when fully charged tells me I have 2 1/2 hours of usage. This is a major concern, and something we really need to fix for this release. As I tested it, it appeared to get about a minute or two to each percentage of battery. Below are some

Pia, From my reading of your description you ran the 765 and 711 test on 2 different machines and did not swap the battery between machines. Is this correct? If so there is a flaw in the methodology. You should ideally run all tests on the same machine with the same battery or at least
